Priced like engineering.
Four ways to engage. Each itemized, milestone-billed, and documented before work begins.
Discovery
Fixed-fee engagement that produces the findings document, specification, and quote. Priced by scope complexity and stated up front on the first call.
Fixed-scope project
The specification gets a fixed price and milestone schedule. You pay per delivered milestone, and change requests are quoted separately before any work happens.
Development retainer
A monthly block of engineering hours for ongoing improvement, integrations, and small builds. The rate is published in your agreement, and monthly reports reconcile hours to delivered work.
Support & care
Post-launch monitoring, updates, and fixes, delivered through the parent company's managed services operation with defined response targets.

Pricing questions
Why no prices on this page yet?
Because honest numbers beat marketing numbers. Foundry publishes rate ranges once the launch engagement wave completes, so the figures reflect real delivered projects rather than placeholders. Every quote you receive is itemized and fixed for the defined scope.
Will a quote change mid-project?
Not for the defined scope. The specification you approve is the price you pay, milestone by milestone. Scope changes are written up, priced, and approved before they enter the schedule.
How is licensing handled?
In writing, per engagement. Bespoke builds typically transfer deliverables to the client; productized platforms and certain components are delivered under license with the terms stated before work begins. Either way, nothing is discovered later.
Is there a minimum engagement?
Discovery is the minimum first step for project work. Small automations and integrations frequently follow as retainer work rather than standalone projects, which keeps overhead out of small jobs.
// next step
Want a real number?
Bring us the problem. Discovery pricing is quoted on the first call, and every project quote after that is fixed for its scope.
